My Temperature Sensing Experience

[Rob Fisher]

Hi All,

OK I'm about to try this whole temp sensing thing again now that my sore throat and flu has gone... so far the experience has been really underwhelming.

I started off with the Lemo 2, then tried a Subtank Mini with Commercial Temp sensing coils and then the Nautilus Mini with temp sensing coils..

I know I have to play with the Joules and the temperatures levels... and I will be doing a lot of testing this week... but what I'm looking for are a few suggestions on the builds for the following devices that I have at my disposal to test with.

SilverPlay
Lemo 2
Nautilus Min
Atlantis 1 and 2 (Awaiting temp sensing coils)

And I need to get a Taifun GT II because Phil says it's his favorite tank on the SX Mini.

So this week is searching for a tank for the SX Mini week!

lve been using the subtank mini rba for temp control on sx mini 3mm id coil 26G ni200 6 to 7 wraped contact coil wich i then stretch out evenly ( quit wide) I then compress the coil and it comes out pretty well spaced out at about 0.067 ohms.

Ive been enjoying my vape at between 180c to 200c at 16J. Its still early days still playing

vape your tanks dry and see if you get dry hit protection. Let us know when you do.

thanks

Yip the dry hit protection works fine.

Will dig out the RBA and give it a go thanks!

No dry hit just less flavor and less vapor.

On the Silverplay. Go for a dual coil 9 wraps each on a 2mm ID. Using 28g Nickel wire.
This has by far produced the best Vape for me out of the Silverplay.

*edit*
Running it at 30J and temp of 380F.

You can naturally adjust to your personal liking.

 

[stevie g]

temp protection sounds like it will suit my vaping style I get dry hits on any tank I use eventually.

Hi Rob, I'm running a 26g NI 200 (tempered) 13 wrap 2.4mm ID @ 0.13 ohms @ 240 deg C in My Doge V2 at 41J on my SX Mini.
On my Vapor Shark I'm running a 26g NI 200 (tempered) 12 wrap 2.4 ID @ 0.12 ohms @ 240 deg C in my Lemo 2.

I am completely satisfied and getting the warmth, but the flavours are just the best. Think I have found my happy place ... well for now at least

@capetocuba

isn't 13 wrap too hot?. Ie you wouldn't use 13 wrap kanthal on a dual coil.

does the temp limiting change the game with regards to micro coils min wrap/max wraps

You need many wraps on a single coil as the NI 200 wire is low resistance wire. You get the benefit of a lot of wire being in contact with the wick so maximizing flavour, while have the temp set where you like it, which prevents the dry/hot hits. Nope never gets hot.

Great thread @Rob Fisher
Interesting to watch

Hi all
I have been vaping my Vaporshark with the Subtank Mini (0.15ohm Ni200 Coils) for the past week. Its been an awesome journey. I found my happy place at 24W and 250 - 260C, vaping Nora's Dream... amazing flavour and vape.

Then I tried a Apple pie juice and the flavour was not there... So I bumped up Vaporshark up to 28W at 290 - 300C....WOW!! the warmest apple pie vape ever! Amazing!

So what have I learnt so far... I like my cereal and fruity vape at lower temp as it seams to complement the juice, but on some desert juice adding temperature simply elevated the juice to a new level. Amazing!!

I'm already searching for my next Temp sensing device. I really think this is the future of vaping... until the next BIG thing at least.

On as side note.... I have tested the same juices in my Goblin, Silverplay, Atliantis and Reo's (normal kanthal) but did not find the same flavour and satisfaction, but this is only my view of the World. Enjoy!!

If anyone has some tips on their custom builds (temperature sensing) experience with the VaporShark, as well as the IPV, Smok etc. Please post them here as well.

So far, just like @Rob Fisher, I do feel a little underwhelmed, and maybe custom builds will lead me to a happy place

Just got my nickel 200. Want to build a coil for my plume V2. It's been suggested to coil the wire, to toughen it a bit. Will let you know my findings... (running on sx mini m)

 

[stevie g]

I'm confused... Coil the wire to toughen it... Please expand?.

 

[Divan Smit]

I will put the wire in a drilling machine and coil it, untill it snaps.

 

[stevie g]

twisted... How much does it change the resistance wrap per wrap.... Please let us know.

thanks

 

[Divan Smit]

I've tried a 'normal' build last night, the wire is so soft, you can't tighten it properly to the post before breaking the nickel

 

[Divan Smit]

It hardly changes the resistance, just toughens the wire.

I'm waiting for my Taifun 2 before starting down this road again...

 

[Rob Fisher]

OK I finally get this temperature sensing story... after having almost given up I tried the Taifun GT 2 thanks to a recommendation by @Philip Dunkley and it's a simple and easy build. OK my first try was a disaster of note and ended up with a full tank of juice all over my SX Mini and my hands and desk... but it's because the tank is unlike any other tank I have ever used and the ring around the base goes up and down and needs to be up when you close the tank and fill...

I used 28g Nickel on a 2,5mm screwdriver with 9 wraps for a resistance of 0,14Ω. The temp is set to 200C and I'm firing it at 18 Joules with the airflow pretty tight to get a mouth to lung inhale... so so good!

I'm using the Lemaga Clone from Vape King (http://vapeking.co.za/taifun-gt-ii-clone-by-lemaga.html) and as clones go it's a pretty good clone and I have just ordered 2 more to use as juice testers because finally I have a tank that gives awesome flavour!

And now I'm off to find an authentic.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

 

[Philip Dunkley]

Thank Goodness, thought we nearly lost you there Skipper!!!!!!
Time for an Authentic Group Buy, I'm in, will do research tonight!!

Great news @Rob Fisher

So glad to see more love for the Taifun GT 2...it's one of my all time favourite RTAs

Great recommendation @Philip Dunkley

Edit: it's not immediately clear, but this is the home site (and manufacturer) of the Taifun range
